Enjoy learning about Lava stone and it's incredible properties

It is so satisfying when you buy a new outfit and wish you could have a pair of earrings, bracelet or necklace to match or give your outfit that pop it needs. I cannot count the amount of times i have quickly whipped up accessories to wear for a special occasion or night out with friends, it is so satisfying that i have made them. Especially seeing the look on an admirers face when you tell them that it was YOU that made them. That always makes me smile and feel proud of myself.

Another skill this class will teach you is how to repair jewellery. We all have a few pairs of earrings that are missing a hook or a favourite necklace that just needs a clasp replaced. Well after this class you will be able to do exactly that and you'll be amazed how simple it is once you know how. The only thing is you'll have a queue of friends asking you to fix things.

You will also be able to make inexpensive gifts for friends and family with your new skill. I have saved a fortune over the years by making my own gifts for my loved ones. Not only is this more special as it is handmade by you with your time and love, you can also personalise the jewellery too, to match an outfit or make a necklace length perfect for them using their favourite gemstone. It's a great gift to have and to use it to give. It also means that you don't need to fight the masses so much at the shops. It's a win win.

I must say though that my favourite part of being able to create your own jewellery is that you can live your love and work from home, whether it be a side hustle or launch it into a full time career. It allows you to chose your own hours of work, be creative, have flexibility with family commitments and to do something you love. Who doesn't want that?

Syllabus

After watching this up close tutorial you will have mastered the art of opening and closing jump rings, a basic move but a necessary one.

This is a quick glimpse into my jewellery experience.

What is Lava Stone?

Lava Stone, (also known as Basalt, or Lava Rock) is an igneous volcanic rock. It has solidified from molten lava, after conditions of intense heat and pressure.

Lava Stone Healing Properties

Emotional Healing Properties. Because of the grounding qualities of the Lava, it calms the emotions with intense energy. Thought to be a rebirth stone that sheds unneeded emotional layers. It gives us strength and courage, allowing us stability through times of change. It provides guidance and understanding in situations where we may need to "bounce back".

Spiritual Healing Properties. Lava Stone stabilizes and is strongly connected to the earth as it comes from the Earth’s centre. Lava Stone is a grounding stone that strengthens one's connection to Mother Earth.

Lava Stone uses and meaning. Lava rocks are typically like other healing gemstones and should be worn as close to the skin as possible. Which is why wearing them in our jewellery is the perfect opportunity for both males and females.

The Benefits of the Fiery Stone. Exuding with divine spirituality, the star of the grounding ensemble – Lava Stone is essentially a rock with superpowers. Lava Stone has also been known to enhance fertility.

Lava Stone Aromatherapy Properties

The porous nature of the stones makes it perfect for use in aromatherapy, allowing the essential oils to be absorbed into the rock and the aroma diffused with the warmth of the skin.

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the practice of using the natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical well-being.

The inhaled aroma from these "essential" oils is widely believed to stimulate brain function. Essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream and can promote whole-body healing.

A form of alternative medicine, aromatherapy is gaining momentum. It is used for a variety of applications, including pain relief, mood enhancement and increased cognitive function.

There are a wide number of essential oils available, each with its own healing properties.

This video is an introduction into how we hold, use our jewellery making tools and what they are individually used for. This is a very important step to master as the way we hold our tools not only dictates how well they perform for us but how our bodies feel after repetitive use.

One of the main advantages of wearing a lava bracelet is not just because of style but because this bracelet works as an oil diffuser too. If you believe in the healing power of essential oils, a lava bracelet is undoubtedly a must-have for you.

How To Apply Oil To The Stone

You can apply it with your finger and spread the oil on the beads, in doing so you will be able to enjoy the benefits of the essential oil that you need even if you are outdoors or travelling. You can put on oils which can help you feel relaxed, help you fall asleep, or help you heal from fever or flu.
